Is Sept too late for visiting Canadian Rockies?
Planning to visit Canadian Rockies in Sept 2016, driving a 30 ft class A, will it be too cold?

Spent 3 weeks last Sept in the CA Rockies. Had almost all of the weather this world could supply during that time!!! Started out in the 60's, 2" of snow near Banff, sun and warmth going up to Jasper on the Icefields Parkway, great all around weather at Jasper, and heavy rain heading to the south the last week. Weather got real nice again when we crossed back into WA!!!
Sept is a great time to go, colors are super, as shown, weather is never solid. But that wouldn't keep us from doing it again. Only big negative was the crowds. Didn't think it would be as busy as it was. Constant flow of rental MH's, and other RV's!! No reservation sites were almost non-existent. Don't know if it was the superb fall colors that were on display, but so busy after the Labor Day weekend was unexpected. Possibly due to so many of the smaller Nat Park campgrounds being closed.
Go for it, but plan ahead, and make any reservations you think you need well ahead of time!!
